So, a guy named DearthToUsa posted a gif of a neo-Nazi getting punched in the face to BeholdTheMasterRace.

Now here comes the Altright brigade!

Can’t believe I have to keep saying this to folks who are otherwise clearly on the just side... Horrifying and unconscionable as Nazism is, this man is a human being. You immediately lose the moral high ground when you resort to this kind of action (or reveling in it). Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Etc, etc. You can also have a strong response against a wrong without stooping to savagery. Edit: Well that went predictably :-) The most common responses to appeals like mine are consistently: 1) The Nazi’s couldn’t have been defeated with love. (duh) 2) They are terrible, evil, people, so it’s OK. (ok, Hitler) The first conflates the ideas of universal human dignity and avoiding harm with hard-line pacifism. There’s nothing contradictory about supporting the necessary Allied response in WWII and opposition to people reveling in the unnecessary assault of others. Violence is frequently necessary to defeat evil, but that ever-important word “necessary” is critical to justify violence. Words/ideas without action do not justify violence. This is essential to the concept of free speech and the prevention of tyranny in the first place. The second applies the same logic every in-group (ever) has used to justify the oppression of every out-group (ever), including the mentality of the Nazis themselves. If you revel in the suffering of another person, you are engaging the same pathways of those who have committed atrocities throughout history; that’s the point. Speak up for good; fight for good when you must. When violence is justified, it comes from love and logic - not hatred or impulse. You may necessarily do harm in defense of good, but enjoying or reveling in that harm is both deplorable and dangerous.

Spicy.

so we beat the nazis with love the first time?

(in response to the above) Yes, that is good, keep stirring up the firestorm.

Don’t you remember d-day? When we stormed their beaches with logic and respect, and the nazis politely considered our arguments?

More in that particular comment thread, but let us check out the rest of this warzone.

LOL

Ok this one makes me feel bad for the Nazi (congrats, violent-Left). You can't just attack people for having a different opinion. Civilization depends of self-control. Guys. You have to stop and think for a second. I know this is fun, fulfilling, and exciting, but you are quickly becoming the fucking Nazis.

A critical hit!

FUCK you. When you don a swastika, you're advocating the death of millions of people and caliming to be higher than entire races and you're insulting our grandfathers who died for free speech. You're a fair target. Fuck off back to Trumptard land

Muh tragic backstory!

Not a single person talking about this man's upbringing to get to this point, the anger and hate inside both him and the attacker. I believe in pure free speach but when you attach a label it is so much easier to distance yourself from a being that is just the same as you or me. I think his opinion is wrong and should be told so but hitting someone only spreads hate and anger. Seeing the comments in this thread make me think that no one can redeem themselves and if they have done anything that people don't like they should di. I think all of Humanity should learn but I want it burn for the hatred in my heart grows each day, I know it is impossible for everyone to get along and try to work together but to see so little. I can't stand the hate, this feeling of fire in one's chest that makes us all crazy. To truly be a better person you must rise above yourself. You may call me a sympathizer but the threat of Nazi's is over, we have bigger issues like the mass control of the people through media coercing the mob mentality. Although my opinion means nothing as I send this to the ethereal cesspool that is the comments it will fade away much like I will when I die.

Another critical hit!

this guy was instigating fights according to the police. I believe in free speech too, but if you go out looking for trouble you'll find no sympathy from me when it finds you

An explanation

Hate from Nazis leads to genocide. Hatred of Nazis leads to entertainment value, warm, fuzzy feelings, D-Day, and cathartic Nazi punching (which vastly decreases both your stress and general anger). Seems weird to equate the two

More stuff in this comment thread, but I am getting bored so moving on.

Obligatory attack on the OP

solid punch. much form. still dont condone it. but what you gonna do. a no context 3 second gif of someone getting brain damage. thats what reddit considers a win these days i guess. posted by a guy with the name death to USA with a title that is wrong. he didnt cry, hes concussed..... propaganda is propaganda. makes you choose between siding with violence or nazis. not really a choice imo. just divisive propaganda. prolly posted by a russian bot. post history is straight cancer https://imgur.com/a/hHM3l

OP strikes back.

How is my post history cancer? Also, my username is DearthToUsa not DeathToUsa. Learn to read.

In response to TheMightyBarrackObama

yes, because if history has shown us anything, it is that it's either violence or nazis. i mean, i am sure that nazi was just saying kind things to that man before he was struck unjustly... /s

sigh

are you sure? do you actually know this? or was this context provided to you in a 3 second gif and you were forced to assume it? it fits the gif sure. but how do you know? you are right. there are more options than supporting violence or nazis. so why does this thread make us choose between the two?

Damn, this conversation is getting heated.

i mean, i have common sense. the man decided to wear a symbol of pure hate on his arm. a symbol of extreme violence--a fucking genocide. do you really think he did that because he wanted to show how against violence he is? the context is there. you are just trying making it look like it's hard to see.

Barry isn't done yet.

no dude there is no context there. we dont know if he was doing it ironically. if its a video he was making gone bad. if he was doing it to make a point about free speech. you assume you know it for some reason. because you think you understand everything you see at face value. im telling you thats not true. in this day and age that is not true. this is a divisive shitpost

A very good question!

Why are you putting so much effort into defending a Nazi?

Not much left in this comment chain. Hope it was amusing.

why support a post from a dude named DEATH TO USA? not supporting the nazi either. just not supporting the violence or the nazi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_UWbifM2U

One last comment and we move on to a different part of the chain with TheMightyBarrackObama. I will place it in its own section, actually.

You DO realize that's not OP's name, right?

Asking the real questions

So what you're saying is, you like Nazis?

Least he could do is at least capitalize the letters in those paragraphs

i dont know either dude in the gif do you? i dont know what either of them are about or why the one dude had a swastika on. do you? i do know that people enjoy throwing the term nazi around. making labels. and forcing sides to be taken. its a divisive tactic to force people to make a choice instead of be neutral. do you choose to agree with speech being silenced with violence or do you support nazis? that is what you are asking me. i refuse to answer, because neither are the correct answer. wake up bro.

Yes, keep the fire going, boys!

You're a nut lol, there is no side taking. Legit, you're a dickhead for defending this Nazi. Fuck off back to T_D

I have no clue what the fuck a riven main is

not defending him. just not saying i like the violence either. its really not a difficult concept to grasp. there is a difference. i wouldnt expect a peasant to understand but i try to keep the sheeple informed of the type of propaganda they are watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_UWbifM2U as soon as you understand that difference you can begin to grow and create your own views. fuck off back to lol. prolly a fucking riven main.

Holy fuck, this thread seems to go on and on. I am done cataloguing the bullshit posted here.

Bonus amusing exchange below

Jokey comment one

Its funny how they always want to talk it out at the last minute.

In response to above joke

Hitler: c'mon Russians let's just talk it out

In response to above joke

“So much for the tolerant left” -Hitler, shortly before committing suicide.

A disgruntled Altrighter interrupts this amusing comment chain.

Looks like he was trying to talk the entire time and the typical animal dindu decided to attack him. This is why they don't belong in civilized society.

Short but to the point

Nazis don't belong on Earth.

Citation needed.

The average Nazi is better suited to make a positive impact on the planet than the average black.

Reddit arguments are always amusing.

The only thing the average Nazi was suited to have a positive impact on was the soil they died over as fertilizer.
